To tho Editors Of the Appeal;
Saturday morning l was present at
the meeting which was called In the
Merchants Exchange rooms to take
some action to lay before the world
the savsntagssof Memphis. Although
had not anticipated any discussion
Of the Tennessee Midland subserip-
ton, l found myself considerably in
terested in an effort which WAS made
to have the meeting indirectly indorse
the Gcheme. For instance, Maj. Fleece
offered a resolution to the effect that
the meeting favored assisting railroads,
Had this been passed there can be
little doubt that il would have been
used In the interest of the Midland.
II was 90 efficiently nipped in
the bud that Maj Fleece, seeing
the inevitable tabling OF his resolution,
withdrew 1t. All the details regarding
this effort found In the APPEALS re-
port No attempt was made to garb.e
or suppress the only interesting Issue
presented at the meeting. l have I'M
dsrttood that the APPEAL favored the
Tennessee Midland road, and though
am opposed to it. wish to express my
admiration for Journal that in the

The very fact Of bubbling through

The very fact Gifts bnbbling through
the water OF course proves cobclusively
tho presence OF o gas. II being odoI-
less, too, would make the probability
of natural, inflsmmabls gas stronger.
The element that is now used 80 ex-
tensively Ia Western Pennsylvania
for heating purposes is entirely with
out odor. In fact, this WAS wherein
the danger lay. For one would not
know that he VIVA in II, and would
light match, and the result would be
an explosion. But in order to give
you data 30 that you may judge for
yourself, We will endeavor to tell you
briefly how it ia found. Its presence
was fret discovered by its bubbling up
through the waters OF French creek in
Western Pennsylvania With ii came
petroleum. The fortunate ones who
made the discovery never thought
that the oil wss forced 10 the surface
by an inf immable gas. In fact they
did not think Ct gas, and II was not
until twelve years ego that it was
found 10 be az combustible as the oil
itself. But this gas always came from
a great depth. The depth at which it
is found at Pittsburg, Pa, while 1t
varies somewhat, is about 1900 feet.
The strongest reason for the writer's
believing that your find is not natural
gas ia that the depth is not great
enough. There may, however, be a
natural crevA;se through which it is
suep, but this would empty the we'll Of
its water; then again, the gas may
have 80 great a pressure as to keep the
water from running down the Gre
vase. 1t ia still further the writer's
belief that the gas may be found any
place, because OF the sub elements tn At
compose 1t. The process OF nature
that forms il is nothing more or less
than the decomposition of water,
which you know Is composed of by.
drogen and oxygen, two Of the mcst
inf lmmable gases known to chemists,
and so long as IL rains upon the sur
face Of the earth and so long as this
rain peimeates through the earth,
just 80 lorg will We have natural gss.
You can readily ascertain whether
II ia inhammable or not by applying
torch to one of the bubbles ~ il

you have the bonauza and that your

As wv. b. Milledgeville, Ga, in
the January Cultivator asks, "Can

FARM AND STOCK NOTES.

On light spongy soils it will bene-
TIT the horses to allow them to 90
unshod for while, especially when
they have tender feet.
If the soil for strawberries con-
tain much vegetable matter, bone
and ashes will be sufficient as mix
ed fertilizer for nearly all kinds of
small fruits.
Save the soapsuds. Pour them
over the manure heap. They will
not only add to the value of the ma,
nure but assist in preventing the es-
cape Of ammonia.
As the warm weather comes on
avoid feeding too much corn to the
hens, as it causes them to become
too fat, thereby interfering with egg
production.
Good implements save labor. The
use Of an inferior pillow during the
busy season not only delays opera
lions to a certain extent, but the eff.
fccts OF the poor work done extend
to the time when the crop is harvest
ed.
All the work that can be done
now in the shape of blowing is so
much saved later on. After the sea-
son opens there are usually so many
things to do at the same time that
often many valuable crops are not
seeded in till late
The hardest work for the poultry
man is keeping vermin out of the
coops. New coops are not exempt.
BY using kerosene on the roosts, re-
moving the droppings frequently and
whitewashing the walls once every
month the vermin may be prevented.

GROUND PEAS OR PEANuTs.

Thirty-fve or forty years ago Vir-
GINA and North Carolina furnished
the principal supply of ground peas
for the United States. Large guam
titles were used in Georgia and even
yet our people get many of the pea
nuts from other sections when they
can be grown to advantage in Geor-
gia. We must remember that the
population of the Union has grown
to about sixty millions and requires
greater quantity Of this article than
ever before. 1t is discreditable to
our State for the people to be buying
those nuts from any other State and
especially foreign countries. A small
patch will make as many as an ordi-
nary family will use and the cultiya-
tors in Georgia ought to supply the
demand Of the people of the State, it
not in part of other sections of the
country. Georgians ought to make
what they want and get as good
prices for them as those who grow
them in any other section, in this
country, or abroad. Sixty bushels
can be raised to the acre by care and
attention. They grow best on thin
soil with but little fertility and re-
quire only little lime as a fertilizer.
The demand is constantly on the in
crease. They ought to be cheaper.
Those who buy little measure full
from the retail shops pay at little
over the rate of six dollars bushel
Tor them. Many people like them
but back out from such extrayagant
prices.
